Watlow Series SD Calibration ■ 6 ■ Factory and Calibration
Calibrating the Series SD
Warm up the unit for 20 minutes. To reach the cali-
bration prompts, enter the Factory Page by holding
down the Up Key ¿ and Down Key ¯ for six seconds.
Once in the Factory Page [FACT], use the Advance ‰
key to select a prompt. The last prompts on the Factory
Page are the input and output calibration prompts.
You can restore the original factory calibration with
Restore Factory Calibration [rESt] (Factory Page).
*Note: INFOSENSETMshould be turned off while verifying calibration
of the controller with a calibration source.
Thermocouple Input Procedure
Equipment
• Type J reference compensator with reference junction at 0°C (32°F), or type J thermocouple calibrator to 0°C (32°F).
• Precision millivolt source, 0 to 50 mV minimum
range, 0.002 mV resolution.
Input Setup and Calibration
1. Connect the correct power supply to terminals 1
and 2 (see Chapter Two).
2. Connect the millivolt source to terminals 11 (-) and
10 (+) with copper wire.
3. Enter 50.00 mV from the millivolt source. Allow at
least 10 seconds to stabilize. Set Thermocouple Calibration, 50 mV [tc;50] to [`yES]. Press the Advance Key ‰ to store 50.000 mV input and move to
the next prompt.
4. Enter 0.000 mV from the millivolt source. Allow at
least 10 seconds to stabilize. Set Thermocouple Calibration, 0 mV [tc;00] to [`yES]. Press the Advance Key ‰ to store 0.000 mV input and move to
the next prompt.
5. Disconnect the millivolt source and connect the reference compensator or thermocouple calibrator to
terminals 11 (-) and 10 (+). With type J thermocouple wire, if using a compensator, turn it on and
short the input wires. When using a type J calibrator, set it to simulate 0°C (32°F). Allow 10 seconds
for the controller to stabilize. Set Thermocouple
Calibration, 32° [tc;32] to [`yES]. Press the Advance Key ‰ to store type J thermocouple calibration and move to the next prompt.
6. Rewire for operation and verify calibration.
RTD Input Procedure
Equipment
•1 kΩ decade box with 0.01Ω resolution.
Input Setup and Calibration
1. Connect the correct power supply to terminals 1
and 2 (see Chapter 2).
2. Connect the decade box to terminals 10 (S1), 11
(S3) and 8 (S2), with 20 to 24-gauge wire.
3. Enter 15.00Ω from the decade box. Allow at least
10 seconds to stabilize. Set RTD Calibration, 15Ω
[`r;15] to [`yES]. Press the Advance Key ‰ to
store the 15.00Ω input and move to the next
prompt.
4. Enter 380.00Ω from the decade box. Allow at least
10 seconds to stabilize. Set RTD Calibration, 380Ω
[r;380] to [`yES]. Press the Advance Key ‰ to
store the 380.00Ω input and move to the next
prompt.
5. Rewire for operation and verify calibration.
Voltage Process Input Procedure
Equipment
• Precision voltage source, 0 to 10V minimum range,
with 0.001V resolution.
Input Setup and Calibration
1. Connect the correct power supply to terminals 1
and 2 (see Chapter Two).
Input
2. Connect the voltage source to terminals 11 (-) and
9 (+) of the controller.
3. Enter 1.00V from the voltage source to the controller. Allow at least 10 seconds to stabilize. Set Input Calibrate, 1V [``u;1] to [`yES]. Press the Ad-
vance Key ‰ to store the 1.00V input and move to
the next prompt.
4. Enter 9.00V from the voltage source to the controller. Allow at least 10 seconds to stabilize. Set Input Calibrate, 9V [``u;9] to [`yES]. Press the Advance Key ‰ to store the 9.00V input and move to
the next prompt.
5. Rewire for operation and verify calibration.
Current Process Input Procedure
Equipment
• Precision current source, 0 to 20 mA range, with
0.01 mA resolution.
Input Setup and Calibration
1. Connect the correct power supply to terminals 1
and 2 (see Chapter Two).
2. Connect the current source to terminals 11(-) and
8(+).
3. Enter 4.00 mA from the current source to the controller. Allow at least 10 seconds to stabilize. Set Input Calibrate, 4 mA [``A;4] to [`yES]. Press the
Advance Key ‰ to store the 4 mA input and move
to the next prompt.
4. Enter 16.00 mA from the current source to the controller. Allow at least 10 seconds to stabilize. Set Input Calibrate, 16 mA [`A;16] to [`yES]. Press the
Advance Key ‰ to store the 16 mA input and move
to the next prompt.
5. Rewire for operation and verify calibration.
